Here we go again - changing of the antidepressant. The Prozac is just not effective enough to keep the blahs away. And besides it is known not to mix well with Ambilify. Maybe with the Prozac gone, the Ambilify will operate better. I know everyone get the blahs, but no matter what I do, the blahs just hover. I don't feel like doing anything and that is just not me. I'm usually a busy person, or can find ways to be busy. So when I feel useless, something is not right. And this has been going on for way too long. I wonder if the Inderal has anything to do with the blahs or possibly hormones are causing the problem. Either way, the Prozac is not cutting it.The new stuff is called Fetzima. Suppose to take it in the morning with food. That worries me. That might mean can cause nausea and I'm not going through that again. Evil Vibyrd. If I become just a bit nauseated by it, it's out, no second thoughts about it. My appetite is already suppressed from something - depression, Inderal - i don't need nausea on top of poor eating.
I'm suppose to make a gratitude journal according to Steve. It's one of those behavorial cognitive things to help with depression, to get you thinking positive. So here I go:
1. I'm thankful for healthy children even though they stress me at times.
2. I'm thankful for an understanding husband who really wants me to be more affectionate.
3. I'm thankful for a warm home even when it feels too big.
4. I'm thankful for a job to help me feel productive.
5. I'm thankful for my artistic talent even though I feel uninspired right now.
6. I'm thankful for my religion and the faith it gives me.
7. I'm thankful for love from my family.
8. I'm thankful for a healthy body regardless of my brain.
9. I'm thankful for a knowledgeable mind.
10. I'm thankful for a good therapist.
Okay, I have found 10 thanks. Now I just need to remind myself everyday and to find more.
